KL's ORGANIC HEMP PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

This plant based summer smoothie recipe is excellent after a good workout!
This past weekend I went to visit Lee Lee Asian Market in Arizona where they have fresh, exotic produce from all over the Eastern world.
I picked up some fresh fruit, herbs and veggies that I've never seen before like: jackfruit, anise, and fuzzy squash.
Anyhow, this recipe is dairy free, soy free, kosher and goody goody!
